Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

919 A Property of Space



Alex stood up from his meditation session. He had been so thoroughly invested in learning about teleportation that he had forgotten to put Pearl on guard.

Alex sent his senses flying out all around him and sensed several people that were standing all around him, watching him.

He couldn’t help but frown a bit when he realized that his learning of Dao had ended up becoming a spectacle for these people.

Alex ignored them and turned to go deeper into the aura to learn more, but some people started calling for him.

“Brother, wait a moment. We want to talk to you.” Some said.

“Hey, did you learn a Dao? Can you tell us what you learned?” some younger folks asked.

A few of them even asked for a battle to test out what he had learned.

“Please excuse me. I don’t feel like talking about what I have just learned,” Alex said and went deeper into the space aura. However, unlike the other places, this space aura wasn’t as dangerous at all.

It was just a manipulation of space and as such, it wasn’t as dangerous around here. There wasn’t any intent to stop people from coming either.

“Brother, what did you learn? I can’t sense anything around here,” the people started speaking as they got closer.

As they got closer, they also sensed Alex’s cultivation base and were surprised that a True Emperor had learned a Dao here.

“Woah, you’re just a junior?” some of them asked.

“Hey, come on! Tell us what did you learn?” they asked.

Alex sighed. “If you can’t even feel the aura then certainly you have no chance of learning it. Please go to other places,” he said and continued moving.

However, the people didn’t like the answer.

One of the men quickly dashed up to him with his cultivation base flaring to threaten Alex.

“Stop right there,” he said as he arrived right next to Alex. “You think we will just let you go after you start being disrespectful to us?”

He grabbed Alex by the shoulders and tried to stop him. However, Alex moved before he could do anything else.

Alex’s right palm landed on the man’s chest with a rather hard thrust, but the Saint was stronger than his physical body.

However, what came afterward was not something the man could endure. Alex’s Qi flowed into the man, completely overwhelming his own Qi.

At the same time, the world moved on its own to produce Qi at the distance, which quickly made the space there connect with the space in the man’s body.

At the next moment, the man disappeared, appearing nearly 500 meters away.

“What?” the people freaked out.

“Did he just—”

“He teleported that man. Did that young man use a skill?” someone asked.

“I think that was the Dao,” another person said.

Even the man that had been teleported away looked in shock. He had never seen a technique that could do that for another person.

‘I need to learn this,’ he thought. They all thought.

Just then, Alex brought out his sword and suddenly his Sword Aura flared to levels he rarely took it to.

“Another person that is up to 5 meters around me will have to face my sword aura,” Alex said.

The people were shocked and even more surprised now. Not only had Alex shown a shocking Dao, but he had also shown Sword Aura, all before even entering the Saint realm.

“Wait, isn’t that the young swordsman that went from barely learning Sword Qi to learning Sword Aura in just a few minutes a few months ago?” someone asked. “I swear people by the split gorge were talking about him.”

“White mask and black robes… yes, he does fit the description,” another person said.

“If that is indeed true, then I hear that he can defeat even Saint Condensation realm cultivators,” the first person said.

People who heard that started getting a little scared. If what they had just heard was true, then there was no way they would ever try to bother him.

Even if he wasn’t the person in question, who would dare try to bother a person that knew a Dao and had a Sword Aura?

Alex waited for people to move, but after what they had just heard, nobody did.

So, he turned around and went a little deeper toward the origin of the Space aura and started cultivating again.

He wanted to test out his teleportation capabilities, but that would have to wait for now.

Still, sending that man away, he had learned a few things.

“500 meters… that’s not a bad range,” he thought. When he used his authority over space to use his intention to send the man away, the world responded just 500 meters away.

He wondered if it was anything different if he was the one teleporting. He didn’t see how it could be any different, but he would have to test it later on.

“Hmm, I thought I would have an easier time understanding what is happening here now that I’ve learned about space a bit, but it doesn’t look like it,” he thought to himself. “What exactly is this aura about?”

Alex tried to understand how the space here was being manipulated. The space wasn’t confined or separated from other spaces, that much he could tell just from feelings.

It wasn’t certain about teleportations either. The only two other things he knew about space were being able to expand or shrink, but he had no practical experience with any of them to learn which it was.

Alex thought for a bit and brought out one of his empty storage bags.

A storage bag was created by shrinking space into a small pouch and confining it there.

Considering that, Alex tried to see if he could feel that aura behind the storage bag.

“No, that’s not it,” Alex thought and put back the storage bag. “Space isn’t being shrunk here. Then is it an expansion? Or is there another property of space that I don’t realize yet?”

Alex sat there, trying to figure out the mysteries of the aura in front of him. It was hard, but he persevered.

He sat there, trying to figure it out, and as such time passed rather quickly for him.

Alex moved from time to time in between and finally arrived at the location where the aura was the strongest. At this place, there was intent as well.

So, he meditated on the intent and aura and tried very hard to figure out what was happening.

A month went by and he learned nothing. People tried to learn here just like him too, but they truly couldn’t feel anything, so they had to leave.

Two months went by and he realized that it was indeed not space expansion that was happening here and it was something else.

Three months went by and Alex started understanding something about what was happening in front of him.

Also, at this time, he broke through to the next realm. Finally, he entered the True Emperor 9th realm. At this point, Alex had such a dense Saint Qi, that he could very likely rival most Saint Condensation realm cultivators with just his Qi alone.

As soon as he was done breaking through, Alex returned to cultivating and learning the Dao here.

Between the third and the fourth month, the bells rang again, denoting the opening of the gates again.

1 year had passed since Alex came here. Which meant that the Dao mountain had already opened and closed by now.

In the fourth month, Alex showed some progress in his understanding of whatever was happening in this space.

In the fifth month, he noticed a crack in space that had yet to heal.

Alex stood up after finally noticing it after months and slowly sent his senses to see what the crack was about.

His spiritual sense wasn’t able to notice anything around the crack, so Alex used his Qi to see if he could influence it.

The moment Alex’s Qi touched the crack, he felt fear that he had never felt before.

The crack opened up wide to reveal darkness inside that tore up his spiritual sense the moment they entered.

The inside of the hole he had just formed in space was full of turbulence and chaos, and it was very terrifying.

Alex stopped using his Qi immediately and pulled back his sense, and the crack disappeared on its own.

He remained there, in his own pool of sweat as he breathed in and out hurriedly.

“What the hell was that?”
